The Blue Ribbon Foundation Ararat Branch on Saturday awarded the ‘Spirit of Football’ awards for the “Fairest & Best” players from the Ararat & District Junior Football Association.
Winners were Edward Astbury (Rovers), Charlie Billett (Warriors), Owen McKinnon (Bombers) and Hunter Newberry (Mounties). Congratulations to all players.
The Award was given for the player who plays fairly, very much a team player and looks after his footy mates on and off the field and promotes the ‘spirit of what footy is all about’.

Last week a memorial service was held at Prahran Police Station. The event marked 25 years since Sergeant Gary Silk & Senior Constable Rodney Miller were murdered in Cochranes Road, Moorabbin.
Family members joined members police members, present and past, for a moving ceremony that concluded with a flyover by the Victoria Police Airwing.
Following the service staff from Prahran & St Kilda police stations headed to Albert Park for the annual football and netball contests. Hotly contested, a lot of fun, and great catering courtesy of the Police Association.
Pictured are both teams who contested the footy and the winners of the best on ground medals from each team in netball and football.
The Victoria Police Blue Ribbon Foundation Ararat Branch presented a cheque for $70,000 to East Grampians Health Service as part of its commitment to the purchase of a new Ultrasound system.
The donation is the first instalment in the project, with the Branch expecting to make another donation prior to Christmas and complete the full $135,000 project following the Grampians ‘Ride to Remember’ in February. The Ultrasound system was purchased and installed at EGHS recently, following the Branch’s commitment to the project.
Ararat Branch president Dianne Radford said the branch was pleased to be able to present the first instalment towards the ultrasound system.
“The Ultrasound system is another vital piece of equipment for the Medical Imaging Department, part of the recently dedicated Blue Ribbon Foundation Wing, which we are delighted to support.” Mrs Radford said.
EGHS chief executive Nick Bush thanked Blue Ribbon Foundation Ararat Branch for its generous support of the Ultrasound system project.
“Through the Foundation, we are able to provide state of the art equipment and facilities, which would not be possible if not for this generosity and support.” Mr Bush said.
In demonstrating the ultrasound system to the Blue Ribbon Foundation members, EGHS
sonographer/radiographer Amy Ferguson said the new equipment was fantastic, easy to use and provided high quality images.
“It is the same ultrasound system we have in use in our other scanning rooms, so it makes it much more efficient for our staff to use,” she said.
